Maintaining GlacierDiskInfo in a package repository? Let me know and I will make a list!

Theming

To add a theme, click the "Theme" menu item, then click "Add theme". This will take you to your themes folder, where you can put any *.css files. Then, restart and the theme should be somewhere under the "Theme" menu item. Hover it, and click "Apply".

Building Themes

Themes are built in regular ol' CSS. The easiest way to build themes is with the assistance of devtools, which are only available when developing, so you may want to consider cloning the project. You can, of course, also just reference the CSS files themselves, located in the gui/assets directory.

Example themes can be found in the themes directory. Below is a screenshot of kurei_kei_unofficial.css:
